52393ccc0a [PATCH] remove set_wmb - arch removal
set_wmb should not be used in the kernel because it just confuses the
code more and has no benefit.  Since it is not currently used in the
kernel this patch removes it so that new code does not include it.

All archs define set_wmb(var, value) to do { var = value; wmb(); }
while(0) except ia64 and sparc which use a mb() instead.  But this is
still moot since it is not used anyway.

Hasn't been tested on any archs but x86 and x86_64 (and only compiled
tested)

cdb0452789 [PATCH] kill include/linux/platform.h, default_idle() cleanup
include/linux/platform.h contained nothing that was actually used except
the default_idle() prototype, and is therefore removed by this patch.

This patch does the following with the platform specific default_idle()
functions on different architectures:
- remove the unused function:
  - parisc
  - sparc64
- make the needlessly global function static:
  - arm
  - h8300
  - m68k
  - m68knommu
  - s390
  - v850
  - x86_64
- add a prototype in asm/system.h:
  - cris
  - i386
  - ia64

f8efa27662 [IA64] remove staled comments in asm/system.h
With the recent optimization made to wrap_mmu_context function,
we don't hold tasklist_lock anymore when wrapping context id.
The comments in asm/system.h must fall through the crack earlier.
Remove staled comments.

I believe it is still beneficial to unlock the runqueue lock
across context switch. So leave __ARCH_WANT_UNLOCKED_CTXSW on.

e08e6c5213 [IA64] hooks to wait for mmio writes to drain when migrating processes
On SN2, MMIO writes which are issued from separate processors are not
guaranteed to arrive in any particular order at the IO hardware.  When
performing such writes from the kernel this is not a problem, as a
kernel thread will not migrate to another CPU during execution, and
mmiowb() calls can guarantee write ordering when control of the IO
resource is allowed to move between threads.

However, when MMIO writes can be performed from user space (e.g. DRM)
there are no such guarantees and mechanisms, as the process may
context-switch at any time, and may migrate to a different CPU as part
of the switch.  For such programs/hardware to operate correctly, it is
required that the MMIO writes from the old CPU be accepted by the IO
hardware before subsequent writes from the new CPU can be issued.

The following patch implements this behavior on SN2 by waiting for a
Shub register to indicate that these writes have been accepted.  This
is placed in the context switch-in path, and only performs the wait
when the newly scheduled task changes CPUs.

383f2835eb [PATCH] Prefetch kernel stacks to speed up context switch
For architecture like ia64, the switch stack structure is fairly large
(currently 528 bytes).  For context switch intensive application, we found
that significant amount of cache misses occurs in switch_to() function.
The following patch adds a hook in the schedule() function to prefetch
switch stack structure as soon as 'next' task is determined.  This allows
maximum overlap in prefetch cache lines for that structure.

0a41e25011 [IA64] Rationalise Region Definitions
Currently, region numbers are defined in several files, with several 
names.  For example, we have REGION_KERNEL in asm/page.h and 
RGN_KERNEL in pgtable.h 
 
We also have address definitions that should depend on the 
RGN_XXX macros, but are currently just long constants. 
 
The following patch reorganises all the definitions so that they have 
the same form (RGN_XXX), are in one place, and that addresses that 
depend on RGN_XXX are derived from them. 

(This is a necessary but not sufficient patch to allow UML-like 
operation on IA64). 

Thanks to David Mosberger for catching the change I missed in mmu_context.h.

4866cde064 [PATCH] sched: cleanup context switch locking
Instead of requiring architecture code to interact with the scheduler's
locking implementation, provide a couple of defines that can be used by the
architecture to request runqueue unlocked context switches, and ask for
interrupts to be enabled over the context switch.

Also replaces the "switch_lock" used by these architectures with an oncpu
flag (note, not a potentially slow bitflag).  This eliminates one bus
locked memory operation when context switching, and simplifies the
task_running function.

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
